A look at how the Eastern Orthodox Church understands why the Son of God had to become human and what his incarnation did for us.
When we are alone
The Holy Spirit sent Jesus into the wilderness to fast for 40 days. Isolation is a unique spiritual challenge. When alone, be on guard.
The lost person
The Prodigal Son lost a great deal more than his material wealth.
Love like so
“For God so loved the world…”
Our unexpected crosses
Some of the most important crosses we can take up are the ones that arrive unannounced.
A definition of true patience
Here’s a quote from the late Russian Orthodox pastor and scholar, Father Alexander Men, on what real patience looks like. We don’t read much about Father Men today, but he was instrumental in the spiritual rebirth of the Russian Orthodox Church at the time of the fall of Communism. You can read more about him at this link.
